*By Julia Reeves Santa Monica*

I do not feel safe in my homeland, or Santa Monica! I am sad about that. I have always been for peace. I have, sadly, come to the conclusion, that it is not only impossible, it is unreachable in my lifetime, and then some. Peace will never prevail, and that is just an unhappy fact of living on the planet, in this time... and, maybe forever.
